ND Liberal Dictionary: Lying to the US Senate is “Publicity Blunder”

Silly me, I thought it was a felony.
From the ND Policy Council on ND Democrat State Senator Tracy Potter:

Potter told the US Senate Subcommittee on National Parks, “In public hearings before city and county commissions have unanimously provided their encouragement.”
The Burleigh County Commission only approved a feasibility study; they did not pass any type of resolution supporting the designation itself. Schonert was not pleased.
“You’ve [Potter] lost credibility,” Schonert told Potter. “I never approved anything. It’s hard to trust you.”
“We have made a publicity blunder. Your point is well-taken,” Potter admitted.

Huh? This guy willfully lied to the US Senate and rather than being prosecuted he’s trying to slough it off as a “publicity blunder.”
Lying to Congress is a serious crime. In this case it resulted in millions of dollars misappropriated. But since everyone involved is a liberal they can laugh it off.
Disgusting.
